Healthy Food Chart

Failing to plan is planning to fail; at least, that’s how I think the saying goes. Regardless, the point is still quite clear: you have to put in the time required to properly set your goals if you every wish to achieve them. This is certainly the case when it comes to an exercise program. …

It was another unusually fast morning for me. I drove Mike into work because I needed to go to the post office (mail some St. Patrick’s Day cards…it’s the Jones family’s favorite holiday). I got my latte payment for driving which always makes me happy! I went to my Nana’s house on my way home because I had some food to bring her and she loves seeing Will so we try to get there at least once a week to spend some time. Will did all his tricks for her and then he started to get hungry and tired so we came home. I am just eating a quick bowl of lentil soup for lunch and then it’s time to settle down and do some work. Tomorrow I need to get started on my baking for the weekend party so it’s even more important that I get my last few tasks checked off today. If I can’t get in done during the day I will stay up late tonight but hopefully it doesn’t come to that!

Last night at boot camp we did a great full body circuit workout. After a ten minute warm up, we hit station after station for two minute intervals of toning and cardio bursts. There were tricep kickbacks, jump rope, speed bag, lunges with a twist, mountain climbers, overhead press, squats, and more. I love circuit training, because I know I can push myself through 2 minutes of any challenge (keeps things in perspective). It’s a FUN way to workout.

A series of articles and letters to the editor in this month’s American Journal of Clinical Nutrition asks whether the time has come to mandate the fortification of flour with B12, similar to the mandatory fortification with folic acid. Apparently,…

I ate a quick one handed breakfast while I did some ironing this morning. I actually was not too hungry when I woke up so I nibbled on smaller things (granola bar, fruit, carnation instant breakfast). Today I am hanging around the house and trying to get some work done if possible. I spent a good chunk of time on the video last night so I didn’t get to a couple of things I wanted to. I should have the video inserted correctly at some point today…I am close but not quite there yet! Have a great day!
